From Darkness To Light. Poem by Casim Kasamu

'FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT'

The sun that used to shine on the city,
Now shines on another far away city.
The pride it carried was buried with sand,
Showing no signs of life again.
Rage and anger fumes its citizens,
Darkness is all they see.

The little light of theirs they depend on
Is being blown away by the ruthless wind.
Blowing away in the dust with no trail of hope.
Little hope they had, but the wind swept away all hopes.
'There's light at the end of the tunnel, '
The tunnel is a long strip without any signs of its edges,
Motivation is the only phenomenon keeping them alive.
It's a city of disgrace and shame, but,

A new dawn shall rise
If the citizens repent.
Shun away dirty works, forbid dark acts.
Twist and turns are not miracles,
They are works with actions.
